Water, a vital necessity for all living beings, holds immense value as a precious national asset. Its scarcity has become a pressing concern, exacerbating over the years. The availability of pure water is dwindling, leading to widespread water scarcity that impacts our society. Consequently, it is imperative to identify and disseminate effective solutions for water quality and scarcity issues. The lack of access to clean water remains a significant threat to global human health, affecting billions of people worldwide. Water contamination with pathogenic impurities contributes to the prevalence of water-borne diseases. Determining water quality involves rigorous chemical, physical, biological, and radiological measurement standards to evaluate the concentration of various components and assess its suitability for specific purposes. A solid understanding of water science and awareness are essential for readers, professionals, and researchers engaged in this field.

This book delves into the fundamental principles and practical applications of water science. It offers a comprehensive exploration of water pollutants classification, water recycling techniques, qualitative and quantitative analysis methods, and efficient wastewater treatment methodologies. Additionally, the book addresses the occurrence, human health risk assessment, and strategies for removing radionuclides and pharmaceuticals from aquatic systems. The chapters in this book are authored by renowned researchers from across the globe, making it an invaluable resource for students, professors, scientists, and R&D industrial specialists engaged in environmental science, geoscience, water science, physics, and chemistry.
